Hi! My name is Sara and I am a new teacher just starting off my career in Saskatchewan.

I convocated from the U of R in December 2020 with a Bachelor’s of Education Degree majoring in elementary education. From there, I was fortunate enough to begin my career with a one-year temporary contract teaching kindergarten in a rural community in the Prairie Valley School Division. I absolutely loved teaching kindergarten and learned so much about myself and my teaching style in my first year of teaching. I was fortunate enough to have two different classes full of amazing little kiddos during my contract and work with some wonderful educators. After my contract was up this past December, I have been working as a substitute teaching in Regina Public Schools, Prairie Valley School Division, and occasionally Prairie Sky School which is a private school here in Regina. During my time as a sub I have been able to work at many different schools in a variety of classes which has been a wonderful experience thus far. Now, I am taking classes towards my Inclusive Education Certificate to further my education and hope to finish this certificate within the the next few years.

When I am not teaching, I am often visiting with friends and family or enjoying the outdoors. I have two small dogs that love walks and hope to travel more in the future. During the summer I work part time at the University of Regina’s Summer Sports School children’s camp and part time serving at the Royal Regina Golf Course.

I am not very familiar, or comfortable, with blogging. I have a small amount of experience with blogging and word press from a previous university class, but I still am not very comfortable with it. I am interested to see if I become comfortable with this online concept by the end of our six week class. I hope to become for “tech savvy” by the end of this course and incorporate some of my new knowledge into my teaching career. I have not used Twitter since French class in grade 11 so getting back on it will be something new for me. Here is a link to my Twitter handle.
